It's Ok Used to be a lot more intellectual and insightful before the British editor took over...the best features were cut and the best journalists were too. Just watch Rachel Maddow on MSNBC (biased, sure, but she actually uses facts and real sources unlike Hannity etc). If you desperately need a liberal mag, Mother Jones does a bimonthly spectacular job with their own magazine. And btw, if you don't think Romney is insecure, then explain why he won't release his taxes EVEN THOUGH HE SAID HE "PAID THEM AND PAID A LOT", but still thinks President Obama will somehow "exploit" them? What. The. Heck. And don't take it out on Newsweek people, after all, like Romney said, "Corporations are people, my friends" --- you might hurt their feelings :O

conservative not liberal As a subscriber now in 2012 I can say this is a right of center magazine. It leans more to the conservative point of views. It is not a neutral or independent magazine. The article titles seem to give the impressions that it's a liberal point of view. So some might think it's a liberal magazine by titles & covers alone. But after reading a few paragraphs you realize those are meant to be sarcastic or ironic. Another way to describe this magazine is through it's frequent authors and columnists. When MSNBC wants to bring on a conservative point of view they will usually invite a Newsweek columnist. Fox does not seem to ever invite them to but quotes their articles often as positive. It's disappointing to read because I'm always hoping for a balanced set of articles that present both sides of an issue so I can judge for myself. But most of their columnists are firmly on the conservative side of most issues; they make an attempt to give both sides but you can tell their 'hearts are not really in it.' So if you're a true independent you'll feel cheated at the end of most articles. The photography is good & they make an attempt to satisfy all readers.

Is this any way to treat a 40+ year subscriber? I started reading Newsweek in high school and purchased my own subscription when I moved away for college. No matter how dire my finances or how often I moved, I kept my subscription. It was with sadness that I received notice that Newsweek was going digital only but Daily Beast graciously offered to transfer my print subscription to the digital format. So, I immediately signed up, received my validation number and tried Zinio....no luck, Kindle for Android....nothing, Nook for Android....nada. They all errored out or returned some variation of "invalid login," even though I verified the validation number numerous times and carefully followed instructions on more than one device. I emailed Customer Service, explained the situation, and received a somewhat arrogant and non-responsive reply to the effect that "....thousands of readers are enjoying Newsweek's digital edition, the response has been overwhelming favorable, blah, blah...try following the instructions (dummy)" I suspect that the Google Play edition would work just fine but former print subscribers can't transfer remaining subscriptions to Google. So, after 43 years, Newsweek, you've lost this reader. Too bad....

Trashy content, unreliable service. Also, terrible pixel resolution. On my N7, text is grainy/blurry compared to magazine apps like Zinio; makes for unenjoyable reading. Subscription completely skipped last week, current issue was late--why read Newsweek a week too late? The language and content is just unbelievably embarrassing (its our Fox news). Every article is just uninformed, biased op-ed. I had the terrible misconception that this was simply an unbiased selection of pertinent weekly news. More stars if pixel resolution and content post-election improve dramatically.

Bye NewsWeek - after 30+ Yrs, Why? I have had NW subscription since 10th grade civics class when Iran-Iraq war started (1980). I renewed subscription while in college & then military. While at sea, everyone loved my Newsweek. Now I'm a 2nd class citizen like other reviewers have commented. Thus, I had to write to tell you ENUF! Why penalize me for subscribing during your old regime? I support Newsweek! You are pushing me away from reading current issues (its difficult). Please correct approach & fix subscrcription status. No 2nd class fix

Fantastic coverage without your Faux News "Spin" That which is opinion is labeled as such, but some people might get upset at facts that don't agree with their worldview. As far as the troll who mentioned the inability for "most liberals" to read, I'll just refer to the fact that liberal states do have a higher literacy rate than their conservative counterparts-- and states with a more "liberal lean" have a higher HS graduation rate. Newsweek is a fantastic bit of reading during your morning coffee to keep up with some of the prevalent issues of the time. They also, as the Romney cover shows, don't mind irritating those on the right by publishing factual information and educated opinion pieces. I hate to resort to it, but it's relevant: @Adam: U MAD BRO?

Diluted mainstream... Note reviewers blatant confirmation bias. Right-wingers always find liberals in the masthead. And they are ALWAYS looking for them. I don't mind a slant in either direction, as long as there is a commitment to TRUTH! Based on EVIDENCE, intellectual rigor and LOGIC. Too often, this commitment is missing. Newsweek covers what they cover well, but betray bias more by what stories they ignore. Newsweek is typically GOP-centric - corporate - burying stories that liberals might think are more important.

Disappointed with google I opened up up the app today hoping to see the new issue and only got the issue from last week. The latest issue has been postponed by Google play because it has a price on Obama in it that most liberals would find offensive because it is the truth. Good job showing your true colors Google.

Best weekly world news publication in the world! So simple. If you are looking for a quality source of unbiased world news, you can't find a publication better than Newsweek. With weekly publications, top-notch writers, the most exclusive reporter access of any print publication, and so much more - quality never wavers from issue to issue and seems to be a common degree of excellence and integrity among the writers. There is just so very many qualities that allow Newsweek to maintain its status as the best. Consistently, Newsweek earns their #1 ranking, with none among the competition ever quite able to close the gap from the #2 spot and below. If you want a weekly source of unbiased world news, there's no easier choice to make than Newsweek.

Is this just a propoganda magazine? Instead of doing a background of Romney let's do an attack piece. I will never pay for this magazine. If we are going to be a serious magazine can we at least treat both sides equally. Too insecure what a joke.

You can't just skip a week.. So, the latest issue is out, but we never got last week's. You can't just not release an issue, then skip to the next one without a word. Are we all getting an extra week on our subscriptions? Some sort of compensation? Come on.. this is basic stuff.

There's nothing "New" about this... Contrary to "Popular" opinion, this magazine has no "Fresh" Or "New" viewpoints to it. It simply says everything that every other liberal magazine says. When it can't find a new way to bash anything Republican, it makes it up. And it (sad to say) makes up most of what it publishes. I wish I could rate it lower than one star.

You should rename magazine "The Left Wing Hack" What you report is not "News" it's your opinion. You could call it the Weekly Opinion of the Left. Most people want the facts, even if you think they are not smart enough to make up their own mind.

Gave up I was a subscriber for a few decades, had a few interruptions, the last being the digital switch. That interruption came about due to HP dissing us paper users by being unresponsive, canceling paid subscriptions and having a process in place that pushed the limits of believability. The final straw/insult was their choice to imitate the paper layout. Bye.

WOw newsweek Romney is anything but a Wimp. I saw him turn around the salt lake olympics. All of this business partners comment on his integrity and work ethic. He is a very spiritual man, a great husband and an incredible father. I get liberal magazines like Newsweek hate him and they are going to call him names and cut him down, because that is all they can do.

bias much !!! haha just if journalism was less biased , i mean if they would explain that he did release 2010 and 2011 taxes and ryan is the president insecure because he wont release his Harvard thesis or any of his transcripts from Harvard i mean this is a free country if Romney dosent want to release them he should not have to. lets stop bashing the prosperous for their successes.

Easy to read & navigate on HTC EVO Better navigation than most eMagazines. Rating down from 4 To 3 because they cannot seem to get issues out on a weekly basis, which is starting to get really old. After 1 year, lowered rating to 1 of 5 ... because I only received less than 1/2 the number of issues and those were always 1 -3 weeks behind.

You don't have anything better to write about then referring to our president as a clown. Why don't you write and refer to obama as a banana eating monkey. I thought your magazine was above that but no you are just a racist rag.

An economy country after all the ripoff Bush & his comrades left behind cannot be solved in few years. Obama promises & wishes were legit;now that Republicans don't wanna lose therefore don't support -That's another story. ..-

BIG Mistake!!! I have been a Newsweek subscriber for almost 20 years and am very disappointed that the hardcopy option will no longer exist. In addition, having to pay an additional fee to obtain an app to read the magazine is ridiculous. I am terminating the remainder of my subscription.

Where are my new issues? My subscription term is not over yet. After changing hands of ownership of Newsweek, my issues are not being delivered at all. Besides, I have loved NW for its rather conservative viewpoint, I see it's changing and disappointing...

I already subscribe. Why am I re-buying content? I already subscribe to the print version. This *should* be just an added feature. Why do I have to re-buy the content? I'll just read the articles off the website if I'm on my tablet. Getting rid of print is a huge mistake for Newsweek. Not offering this as a free service to your loyal print subscribers is another.

JuneBug Gave it 4 stars cuz i DO get info from it. can't really say that they are bias. 1 day they'll say something really nice about the President and then the next issue the same journalist will totaly rip on him. Thats wut i like abiut it.

Rate the App, not your political views App works well. Sixteen 1 star ratings are from conservative's jumping onto the hate liberal bandwagon. If the app sucks, rate it badly. You know the stories that newsweek has, what is the point of trolling the comment sections?

Expensive For years magazines have had to pay for paper, ink,warehousing, distribution, etc... So they sold advertising and charged a cover price. Now that 3/4 of their overhead is no longer there, why would I pay to look at any advertising? Crooks!

Excellence in the world of suck.....meaning terribly pathetic..... This magazine used to report news, now it's a propaganda machine for the left......you lost my business when you quit being objective...

No more. Canceled. Going to digital is gonna makr you go bankrupt faster than you were before. If there isn't a hardcopy for me to read then there isn't even a chance that id read it online. I canceled my subscription and I'm getging others to do the same. I even havr an online petition which hit 1 million signatures.

What is everyone's problem? Good magazine with interesting weekly content. I cant believe people are complaining about the move to digital. Print subscribers get it free. That's the future people. Get used to it.

Obama Article Many of the comments below magnify the ignorance in this country. Are you this outraged over the republican biased Fox news? And for the Romney lovers, perhaps you don't mind that his religious affiliation treats minorities as 2nd class citizens.
